Award-winning design, the finest in materials and craftsmanship, and a stunningly beautiful site were brought together to create this fabulous estate, one of the most beautiful properties in the remarkable Anderson Valley! Covering 40 rolling acres graced with sprawling, heritage oaks, the estate was the featured, cover property for the "Fall, 1998" issue of "House Beautiful, Home Building". (it is also slated to be included in the always awaited Anderson Valley Garden Tour, Spring '06)
Designed by internationally renowned architect Marc LaRoche, the main residence, of approximately 3,000 sq. ft., features a 50 ft. greatroom with exposed "scissor" truss construction and clerestory windows. The deep porch, approximately 72 ft. long, looks across a lavender-bordered lawn to the 40 ft. pool and spa, grapevine covered pergola and olive trees. Across a flower-filled courtyard, complete with serpentine rock fountain, is a darling 2 bedroom guesthouse.
Below the compound site, and across fenced and gated pastures, is a 2500 sq. ft. stable with 8 box stalls and tack area.
The location is an approx. 2.5 hour drive from San Francisco and is a stone's throw from the marvelous villages of Boonville and Philo along with world-class vineyards and wineries.
